They may not fight like a rainbow but they are sure pretty and cool to catch.

Great Tiger! I just moved to Alberta and that's top of my fish list for next season.

Beauty fish, thanks for sharing the photo. I haven't caught one yet myself. Amazing to see how far science has come.

What exactly is it and what do ypu call it? Was it caught in a lake (not running water)? Is it a sterile hybrid?

Is it natural or was it bred by people?

Thanks, I need all the help I can get.

Tiger trout
It’s a cross between brown trout and brook trout.

They are stocking them in trout ponds with no in/out flow.

They are sterile. Crossed between a brown and brookie. Super aggressive fish and grow stupid fast.

Wow! Nice looking fish!! At first glance I thought brown, then I got looking closer!! Hopefully this will be a good thig for the entire fishery!!

From what I understand talking to a wildlife officer, the thinking is if they stock some browns and some tigers in the ponds along with rainbows it will go a long way to thinning out the carp. Being as there much more aggressive than rainbows so I’m told.
